Under the head of canned peas 39 samples were collected and exam- 

 ined, 23 of which were found to be artificially colored with copper 

 sulphate, a poisonous substance. 



In the annual Food Report of this Department for 1912 dealers were 

 notified that the coloring of vegetables with copper sulphate was re- 

 garded as an adulteration, and that the sale of such after January 1, 

 1913, would be considered a violation of the law and prosecutions for 

 same would be recommended by this Department.
